Why have a UK Hen Party?

Deciding on where to have the hen party is a big decision, so we wanted to help you out a little bit to give you some positives on why having the hen do in the UK is great idea. First you need to decide what type of bride you have and whether she is looking for a chilled out weekend or a completely active party weekend. Once you know this information you can plan with our expert hen do planners where you will be spending the weekend of a lifetime. 

Here are a few reasons why staying in the UK is just as good: 

Budget: 

Having a UK hen do does keep the cost down depending on what you choose to do. This means you don’t need to catch flights to enjoy the weekend. It’s good to understand the rest of the hen’s budgets before deciding on where to go, as you could pick an unrealistic destination. Here at Hen Weekends, we will tell you what is affordable within your budget. 



Time:

Staying in the UK means that you can make the most of a full weekend away with the girls. You can do Friday-Sunday but within those 3 days it will be jam-packed of activities and pure quality time with the group. Some people will also not have holiday left to take at work so this could mean them not coming if they needed to take more time off. 



Group numbers: 

You have to think about the hens that will be attending not only about the number of hens but do you have mums & grandparents attending that it would be better to stay in the UK. If you have a big group to cater for then staying in the UK is local and ideal to everyone. Hopefully everyone would be able to attend. 



Travel: 

Depending on where you choose to go in the UK the travel time won’t be too long and it can sometimes be done after work. Travelling can eat into your hen weekend time so think about this when you choose your destination. Friends can plan to travel together so this shares out the cost for everyone too. 



Knowing what you are getting: 

If you choose a city, you know the bride loves, then you have already won her over! Knowing the places that you are going to allows you to really plan a fantastic itinerary that will keep you all active and busy the whole weekend. Take the bride to her favourite places for her favourite tipple and try to find something new she can discover in the city she adores. 



There are endless reasons as to why you should have a UK hen party, but like we said at the beginning find out what the bride really wants and then you will be on the right track. If she’s all about being in familiar surroundings and close to home, then a UK staycation is the one you need organise. Get in contact with our hen party planners today.
